We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Reliability is one of those things that seems downright boring when you think about it. It’s regular to a fault. It doesn’t break. It’s routine. Yet it’s one of the most important things we look for when buying a car. How much normal can you get for less than 10 grand?

Here are the rules:

  • One entry per post.
  • Cars must have a realistic selling price under $10,000.
  • Cars must be operable/easily restored to running condition.
  • Completed and sold listings can be included.
  • You can add modifications, as long as it doesn’t go over the total budget.
  • Write a short reason why your car is the most reliable car for less than $10,000.

Start here and find a car that is overworked, underpaid, and damn proud of it.
